We found this world clock to be extremely interesting. It shows you in real time according to averaged statistics how many births, deaths (broken down by cause), barrels of oil pumped, military expenditure, earth temperature, and even internet users are in the world at the moment. Well, to be more precise, it’s just illustrating the rate of change taking place over the course of a given period by how fast the numbers change. You can view these rates by year, month, week, day, or "now" (meaning from the time you click the "now" button, how much has gone on since). Some of the stats may be surprising, others depressing, but at the very least: interesting. There’s also a link towards the bottom of the page to calculate your life expectancy based on lifestyle.
